Bread, Espresso & THIRROUL — Restaurant in Wollongong City Council

The food was nice when it came. Nothing exceptional, but good stuff and reasonably priced.

Coffee was lovely and had some nice latte art, as did the hot chocolate which was also very good.

Service was friendly, but slow. Food took a while to come out at all, then came out far apart, then after waiting another 20 minutes we went back inside to find out they'd forgotten one of our orders.

We love the coffee here but the service has regularly dropped and much better service up can be had in either direction up the road.

It’s sad we can no longer enjoy the original loving, friendly and inviting service that made us tell everyone about...

The indoor seating here is limited, but there’s a charming “backyard” area with more tables, each accommodating up to 6 people. My favorite dish was the sourdough toast with scrambled eggs—the toast was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The slice was impressively large, making it ideal for sharing between 2 people. We also tried the almond croissant, which stood out as the most "solid" croissant I've had. Unlike the usual soft and flaky croissants, this one was filled! It had a sweet filling made from a blend of almond sugar and other ingredients I couldn’t quite recall.

If the weather is nice, definitely opt for the outdoor seating—it's a...
